Well would you believe it

See the goalscorers for Hartlepool yesterday were Hartley & Poole there must be others in years gone by where the scorers could make a name up.
ps I haven't found a Morecambe & Wise yet, nor a Cannon & Ball.

[slightfold]

That truly is an amazing coincidence. What about Barnes and Lea. though I don't think they never played for Barnsley!

[GreatBarrWolf]

What about the following game on 12th September 1981
Arsenal 1 (Sunderland) Sunderland 1 (Rowell)
How often does a player score against a team with the same name as him?

Halifax Town once had a couple of wingers Fidler & Twist

[andyfromboston]

Greg Abbott and Peter Costello at Bradford in the 90's.

Vaguely along the same lines (Very Vaguely)
In the late 80s early 90s wolves had Andy Mutch, Keith Downing, Floyd Street and Steve Bull. Very Political lol.

Wasn't there a Clapton, Baker and Bruce all on Arsenal's books at the same time, early 60s?

We once had Leon Britton (sic) and Michael Howard playing for us at the same time, and more recently had a Monk and an Abbott in the same side.

In the mid 60's I regularly saw my name in the goalscorers for Northampton Town i.e. Martin and Brown!!

[addicks]

The back four for Charlton was once

Young Fish Costa Fortune

Also Forest had Curry and Rice in the same team in the 90s

[seand]

Celtic briefly has a Tebily-Scheidt defence around the turn of the millennium. It sure was.

[LCFCmatt]

I seem to recall Leicester City trying to buy the brothers Sol & Vinnie Kerr.
It was during the era when we were sponsored by Walkers Crisps.
The article was in The Sun, so it was obviously true (!!) and the date was somewhere around April 1st in the 1990's.......

In recent times Everton fielded Jo, Leon (Osman) and Jolean (Lescott) and Scottish players as well. Quite surprised no one found a way to sing "Jo Leon Jolean"

Jo scored with Lescott once and Leon (Osman) twice.

[Ruud Van Driver]

I notice that Fish is playing for Gills tonight

I was at that game. Not football related but, on my delivery there once lived a Revered Stiff and the guy next to me had a Revered Wiley. I often wondered if they ever took Sunday service together. I would have loved to have seen the notice board.

I remember hearing once hearing on the radio (can't remember what match) Bishop scored to make it two each.

Bishop 2-2

Motherwell had the defensive pairing of Ready and Strong back in about 2000, may be more suited to Rangers.
